I don't see anything in that post about voluntary sterilization. All I see is some ridiculous hypothesizing about "preserving" the "diversity" of mental types by encouraging the creation of "castes". Just the most incomprehensible mess of an idea that doesn't solve anything

And speaks to this guy's unfamiliarity with/distance from with the sociology of drug addiction and the suffering of the poor. Tops it off with this absurd implication that the "social types" and "classes" we see today are purely the product of genetics.

Which "guy" are you talking about? Scott is the one who liked the charity. That's it. The rest is the blabbering of a possibly stoned internet commenter from 2012.

Despite that, the implication that drug addiction among the impoverished isn't fundamentally a product of socio-economics/drug policy and is instead a purely genetic disposition that could be solved by "voluntary" sterilization smacks of a coddled, elitist mindset

I get it, you lack context and didn't even spend 2 minutes looking up the charity or anything.

A cursory reading of the Wikipedia article includes this quote from the founder: "we campaign to neuter dogs and yet we allow women to have 10 or 12 kids that they can’t take care of". Sound like I was spot on.

That sounds like the woman cares about the kids that are neglected. I don't see any invocation of genetics. She adopted like 6 kids from drug addicts. How many foster kids have you taken in?

I just want to point out Jerry Sandusky adopted six kids, one of whom came forward about being sexually abused by him. Adopting =/= sainthood.

And even when the birth parents have done genuinely monstrous things, expressing open contempt for the birth parents is considered a huge red flag for adoptive parents (and yet remains extremely common)

Both because it's been shown to obviously exacerbate the kids' attachment/identity issues rather than alleviate them And because it REALLY OBVIOUSLY translates directly into contempt for the kids themselves in "moments of stress"

The infamous Hart case contained numerous instances in hindsight of Jennifer Hart openly telling the media about how ruined her kids' future prospects were by being "crack babies" and what a big heart she had to take them in

Affluent whites are statistically the biggest users of alcohol and drugs yet are deemed worthiest to parent nonetheless.
